Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Make Another Sound, and Get Out
Miao Dagui had worked hard for many years, and his health was already poor. His sudden, severe illness was the result of his chronic conditions flaring up, triggering the acute cerebral thrombosis that caused him to collapse.
It was a stroke of luck that he didn’t die instantly, but instead held on until Shen Nian arrived.
If Miao Dagui had been suffering from some other malignant condition, like cancer, the current Shen Nian might not have had the ability to help.
However, given Miao Dagui’s current condition and the level of Spiritual Power she now commanded, Shen Nian was confident she could at least improve his state, even if a full cure wasn’t possible yet.
As for what came after, that would depend on how his body was cared for during recovery.
Although Shen Nian had the Shen family brothers keep everyone at a distance so she wouldn’t be disturbed, she hadn’t kicked them all out. Anyone who wanted to watch could still see what she was doing.
Shen Nian first sat beside Miao Dagui and took his pulse to check his condition. Then, using her bag as cover, she retrieved a set of silver needles from her space.
In truth, she had a better set of Golden Needles in her space. However, for Miao Dagui’s condition, the silver needles were more than sufficient, and Shen Nian didn’t want to be too conspicuous right now.
But regardless of whether they were Golden Needles or silver, the sight of Shen Nian producing a set of needles made everyone gasp.
They knew about acupuncture, but they also knew that not just anyone could perform it on another person!
Those were needles, after all. What if she just stuck them in randomly and killed him?!
"Look, everyone, look what that damned girl Shen Nian is doing! She took out needles! Is she trying to stab the old man?"
"Shen Nian, that’s my grandfather! Your grandfather! How could you do this to him? What are you plotting?!"
The first to cry out were, once again, the mother-daughter duo, Guo Chunxiang and Miao Suiping. Whether their shouts were out of genuine concern for Miao Dagui or a deliberate attempt to slander Shen Nian, only they knew for sure.
"Shut up! Say another word and you’re out!"
When Lu Cheng saw Shen Nian take out the silver needles, he knew she was about to try out the medical skills she had learned. He was also aware that she had made significant progress in her studies recently.
Although he had never seen her put her medical skills to use, Lu Cheng trusted that Shen Nian would not act recklessly.
Still, he couldn’t help but worry for her. Watching her movements, Lu Cheng felt his own heart tense up.
So for Guo Chunxiang and Miao Suiping to be here screaming at such a critical moment—how could Lu Cheng not be furious?
It wasn’t that he gave a damn about Guo Chunxiang and Miao Suiping; he was just worried their shouting would disturb Shen Nian and affect the treatment.
"You little brat, I..."
Being yelled at by Lu Cheng, someone from a younger generation, Guo Chunxiang’s expression turned ugly, and she opened her mouth to curse him out.
But before she could get the words out, Miao Suiping, who was beside her, tugged at her arm.
"Mom..."
After calling out to Guo Chunxiang, Miao Suiping looked at her and shook her head, signaling for her to stop talking out of turn.
Guo Chunxiang wanted to keep cursing, but seeing her daughter stop her, she had no choice but to clamp her mouth shut, though she continued to mutter curses under her breath.
Seeing that she had placated Guo Chunxiang, Miao Suiping turned to Lu Cheng and gave him a small smile, trying to leave the best possible impression on him.
However, once he saw that his outburst had quieted the two of them, Lu Cheng immediately turned his back and focused his attention on Shen Nian again.
’Even if everyone here is one of Shen Nian’s elders, if they dare disturb her while she’s saving him, I won’t hesitate to throw them out!’
